TL;DR

• Pick Centerbase if you run a mid-size or large firm and need software built for that scale, and you’re comfortable going through a sales process to get pricing.
• Pick MyCase if you’re a solo attorney or small firm that wants transparent, published per-seat pricing and the ability to self-serve from $39/seat/month.
• Core tradeoff: Centerbase optimizes for larger-firm workflows with a consultative sales motion; MyCase optimizes for accessibility, price transparency, and quick onboarding at the smaller end of the market.

Pricing

MyCase publishes three tiers openly:

• Basic: $49/seat/month monthly, or $39/seat/month on annual billing. Includes case and contact management, task management, client portal, time and expense tracking, billing with online payments, legal calendaring, unlimited document storage, and basic financial reporting.
• Pro: $99/seat/month monthly, or $89/seat/month annual. Adds 8am IQ Legal AI, custom fields, unlimited two-way texting, client intake management, unlimited eSignature, advanced billing, secure document sharing, and integrations with Google and Outlook.
• Advanced: $119/seat/month monthly, or $109/seat/month annual. Adds MyCase Drive, full text search, 8am IQ case assistant, advanced document automation, split billing, and an open API.

Centerbase does not publish pricing. Its pricing page is gated, requiring a sales inquiry to receive a quote. This is consistent with its mid-to-large firm positioning, where pricing is typically negotiated based on seat count, modules, and implementation scope. Prospective buyers should expect a demo and discovery call before receiving a proposal.

The practical implication: at MyCase, a three-attorney firm can calculate annual cost in under a minute ($39 × 3 × 12 = $1,404 on the Basic annual plan). At Centerbase, the same exercise requires a sales conversation.

When to pick Centerbase

Centerbase is the more appropriate choice for firms whose profile matches its stated target market:

• Mid-size and large firms (its two listed target segments). The product is designed around the operational complexity of firms with more attorneys, more matters in flight, and more structured billing and trust accounting workflows.
• Firms accustomed to enterprise procurement. If your firm already evaluates software via RFPs, negotiated contracts, and implementation SOWs, Centerbase’s gated pricing model fits naturally.
• Firms that want a dedicated implementation partner rather than self-serve onboarding. The sales-led motion typically includes scoped rollout support.

If you’re a solo or a two-to-five attorney firm, Centerbase’s market positioning suggests it is not built primarily for you.

When to pick MyCase

MyCase is the more appropriate choice when:

• You’re a solo attorney or small firm (its two listed target segments). Features and pricing are calibrated to that segment.
• You want price transparency. All three tiers, monthly and annual rates, and included features are published openly on the pricing page.
• You want to start quickly at a low entry point. Basic at $39/seat/month annual is one of the lower published starting points in the category.
• You value built-in AI at the Pro tier. 8am IQ Legal AI is included at $89/seat annual, rather than sold as a separate add-on.

If you’re a 40-attorney firm with complex trust accounting across multiple offices, MyCase’s small-firm orientation may feel constraining.

Integrations and ecosystem

Neither vendor’s JSON currently lists specific integrations, so a head-to-head by integration name is not possible from this dataset. What we can note from the pricing data:

• MyCase explicitly calls out integrations with Google and Outlook as part of its Pro tier, plus an Open API available at the Advanced tier for custom integrations.
• Centerbase does not surface integration details in the structured data provided, which is consistent with its gated sales model where integration fit is typically discussed during scoping.

Buyers should confirm specific integrations (accounting systems, e-signature providers, document management, email) directly with each vendor during evaluation.

Historical pricing context

MyCase’s pricing_history shows a single consolidated plan labeled “MyCase” at $49/month in January 2022, followed by a renamed “Basic” tier at $39/month in March 2022, reflecting a repositioning into a multi-tier structure rather than a straight price change. Today’s Basic tier is $49/month monthly or $39/month annual, meaning the annual rate has effectively held at the 2022 level while the product has expanded into Pro and Advanced tiers above it.

Centerbase has no pricing_history entries available in this dataset, which is typical for vendors with gated pricing, there are no published list prices for the Wayback Machine to have captured.

The net read: MyCase has kept its entry price stable over several years while layering higher tiers on top. Centerbase’s trajectory cannot be assessed from public data.
